Radiation therapy firm Varian Medical Systems has opened an office in Budapest to serve as a sales and support services hub for customers located throughout southeast Europe.
Prior to the opening of the office, Fototronic was Varian's local sales and service distributor. Varian has acquired the portion of the Fototronic distributorship affiliated with Varian, whose employees will now work for Varian directly.
Hungary is about to embark upon upgrading radiotherapy equipment at the country's 12 radiotherapy treatment facilities. Most of the country's 26 radiotherapy treatment systems are more than 10 years old, and under the upgrade program, centers will receive either new equipment or upgrades to existing equipment.
